* The "New Moon" soundtrack debuted at #2 last week, and was able to increase sales by 33% this week to jump to #1. I'm sure Tim McGraw is thrilled his first week was overshadowed by a tween tale. :) This one will only grow from here, considering the movie is not even in theaters yet (so the sales are all purely from commercials, fan groups, and buzz).
* Michael Buble is still doing it big. He's basically gold (500K units sold), since he's sold 436,919 copies of his latest album so far. He has only been out for 3 weeks, so that's really good for a glorified lounge singer. Don't get me wrong, I actually adore Michael, it's just not a traditionally popular genre.
* That Taylor Swift boy. She just doesn't stop. Her latest effort, "Fearless", is still in the top 10 after almost A YEAR on the charts, and she has sold over FOUR MILLION copies in that time. Her last album, "Taylor Swift", is STILL on the charts at #60 after THREE YEARS, and has sold almost 4.4 MILLION copies.
* THREE QUESTIONS - (1) Rammstein is still around? (2) Joss Stone was given another chance? AND (3) Natalie Cole is STILL using "Unforgettable" for her own success?!?!? [Nat's latest album is entitled "Still Unforgettable" and it debuted at #50 this week.]
* Total sales have only dropped 21K units this week (not that bad). C'mon people, start your Christmas shopping now, and give the gift of music! :)
